About Khidmatul Awaam

Making Hajj, Umrah and a visit to Al Aqsa Al Mubarak affordable, accessible and a reality for all Muslims in Southern Africa for the pleasure of Allah Azza Wa Jal is our mission. Founded in 2008 and registered as a section 21 company in South Africa (Not for Personal Gain). The journey of Hajj is an obligatory religious duty that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by all adult Muslims who are physically and financially capable of undertaking the journey. Moreover, Muslims regard Hajj as an ultimate spiritual enhancement worship that needs to be performed according to the Sunnah of our most beloved Nabi Sayyidina Muhammed (SAW).

Our History

Khidmatul A’waam (KAPS) being a people’s hajj group was established in 1429/2008 to make Hajj affordable to all. Due to the ever escalating cost of Hajj a few brothers and sisters decided to form a specialist Hajj group. Successful meetings were held across South Africa in order to get inputs from the public.

Unanimously it was decided to establish a service orientated Hajj group, to make Hajj a reality for every Muslim. Alhumdulillah, through the efforts of these individuals and the Duas of the Ulama and ordinary people Khidmatul Awaam was born.
